Destination: Wedding

We just returned home from celebrating the wedding of Blake and Tara (Michael's cousin) in Galveston, Texas. The weekend went by WAY too fast, but we had so much fun being a part of the couple's big day.

It all started with a lovely rehearsal dinner on Friday night. Gray enjoyed his first four-course meal and managed to use most of the silverware properly. I was proud that he ate so well and sat still through all of the toasts (even though it was considerably past his bedtime). He couldn't get enough of the guitarist/singer who was playing during dinner. I definitely think our boy has an aptitude for music.

Here's a shot of us with Nana and Popper at the end of the evening.


The next day we had time to enjoy the beach, which Gray tolerated for about 30 minutes before we relocated to the hotel swimming pool.



Miss Beach Baby Rhyann also joined in the fun:


Saturday evening after a lovely ceremony in a packed, historic Galveston church, we made our way to the convention center for dinner and dancing. It was such a fun evening with our family and Gray enjoyed dancing with me, Nana and Michael's cousin Lindy. He's got some serious white boy moves, but was enthusiastic nonetheless. Here are a few shots from the reception:

A group shot of the cousins/spouses on Michael's mom's side of the family. Our time is never quite long enough with this gang! 

I wanted to get a shot of the next generation of cousins but I never thought of it when Rhyann's big brother Blayne was around. That said, this one was pretty cute!
